The May Neurodivergent Planners Knowledge Circle will be held on Wednesday, May 27th at 12:30 PM ET.
Guest speaker Christine Hargrave will be presenting, "Understanding Emotions in Neurodivergent Individuals."
This presentation explores how neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD, experience and process emotions differently, including challenges with emotional regulation, executive functioning, and interpersonal communication. It will highlight how these differences can affect relationships, stress levels, and everyday decision-making, while reframing them through a strengths-based, compassionate lens.
